Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet street:

An artistically thrilling and dark film, one that Tim Burton's fans can easily add to his long list of classics!
 The excellent, and more than suitable, cast includes Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman, who offer the film all it needs – and more!
Stephen Sonheim's music accessorizes every part of the
movie and the actors' surprisingly worthy voices add even more success.
The story concerns a wrongfully accused barber, who loses his blissful family life to a corrupt judge's will. The barber returns as Sweeney Todd in order to take revenge.

Do expect lots of singing, even more blood, and, as always in Burton's films, a hidden moral message at the end. Mr. Burton has managed to glue together all the above seemingly random pieces into one work of art.  It is a film not to be missed.

Even if you don't really believe in musicals, you’ll have to be able to talk about this movie!
